I'm not sure. While it's true that some reporters/journalists do a respectable job, I feel that the the field is overall lacking in respect for their job, care, etc. The amount of directly false or misleading information that piles up every day is staggering, and by very well known newspapers an TV channels. If your job, or something you have direct experience of have been affected by the news cycle then you know how much BS reach eyeballs. But not only that. Try to read the twitter profile of the journalist you found writing a poor piece. This exercise didn't help me appreciate the field, quite the contrary. Such experience made me laugh when spanish media panicked about fake news and social media a while ago. They are the primary source. And I guess such behavior can be translated to other languages. I can see the pattern in the US newscycle for example.
